Chapter 153 Constance Insults Sophie
“All the preparations are complete, Old Mr. Tanner. Don’t you worry!” said the director as he personally
escorted Josiah to the VIP ward.
Josiah simply chuckled in response as he knew he had nothing to worry about.
Tristan helped him get seated after the director left, and Sophie came over with Arius shortly after.
“Hello, Old Mr. Tanner. I’m Sophie’s senior. My name is Arius Gullifer,” Arius greeted him with a friendly
and easy-going smile.
“Her senior, huh? Sophie, why didn’t you tell me about having a senior like him? What happened in
Horington?”
Sophie shot Arius a glare. D*mn it! Why would he bring up the one thing I dread talking about the
most? What happened in Horington is in the past, so I don’t want Grandpa to know about it! Besides,
him finding out now won’t change a thing anyway. If anything, it’ll only make him worry even more!
“Relax, Grandpa! I didn’t do anything wrong!”
Josiah fell silent. But… I didn’t say she did anything wrong…
“Anyway, Arius is the doctor I found for you.”
Josiah started freaking out when he heard that the young doctor in front of him was named Arius.
Arius is a legend in the medical field! He’s the pride of Chanaea!
“You can just call him Ari, Grandpa.” Sophie wasn’t planning on introducing him at first, but she did so
because she knew what Josiah was worried about.
Besides, Arius’ reputation could really come in handy.
Arius Gullifer, the only Chanaean in the international medical association. Young, famous, and
possesses peerless medical skills. How is someone like him Sophie’s senior? How many more secrets
are Sophie keeping from me? Also, she seems to be treating him a little differently. Are they really just
senior and junior?
Tristan thought to himself as he glanced at Arius.
After what seemed like forever, Josiah finally found his voice and said, “Thank you very much, Dr.
Gullifer!”
Arius scratched his head awkwardly and replied with a smile, “You can just call me ‘Ari,’ Old Mr. Tanner.
Given my relationship with Soph, her grandpa is as important as mine! You really don’t have to be so
formal with me.”
“That’s right, Grandpa! You can just call him ‘Ari!’ He’ll be in charge of your surgery, and the director will
give him his full cooperation. I’ll keep you company in the hospital throughout the next few days, so you
have nothing to worry about!” Sophie added.
Josiah frowned when he heard that.
“Since the surgery hasn’t started, you should all go do whatever it is you should be doing! What are you
all standing here for? I have full faith in Ari’s medical skills!” Earlier on, he was skeptical about the
surgery’s chances of success but found a glimmer of hope when he heard Arius would be performing
the surgery. Maybe I will be able to see Soph get married and have kids, after all!
“Thank you for your trust in me, Old Mr. Tanner. I won’t let you down!” Arius promised.
“Of course I trust you! You’re the best medical practitioner in the world! Who else would I trust if not
you?”
Sophie held Josiah’s hand with an anxious look in her eyes. Despite her usually being as cool as a
cucumber, she found herself feeling uneasy when her grandfather’s life was at risk.
“I’ll be here with him, Soph. You can go do your work and come back when you’re free.” Arius didn’t
want her to stick around as he knew she had a lot of work to do.
“What’s wrong with me being here? Why are you all trying to get rid of me?” Sophie asked with a
frown. Does my presence really make them that uncomfortable?
“I can’t help but feel like I’m being supervised when you’re around, which makes me feel really
uncomfortable. Go on, run along now!” Arius replied.
He was determined to give his best in performing the surgery anyway, so he really didn’t need an extra
pair of eyes monitoring him all the time.
“All right, then. I’ll go buy Grandpa some food and come back later,” Sophie said. I can’t leave! Yale will
surely be looking for Grandpa everywhere once he finds out that Grandpa isn’t home. When that
happens, I’ll have one more problem to take care of…
“I don’t feel like eating anything, so you three can go ahead. Help me treat Ari to a nice meal, okay? I’ll
personally treat him to another meal when I get better!” Josiah wasn’t sure how Sophie got him to help
out, but he wanted to thank Arius properly.
Arius held Josiah’s hand and said with a chuckle, “Sure thing, Old Mr. Tanner. I’ll certainly claim that
meal when the time comes!”
Josiah felt especially at ease after hearing that.
The butler waited until the three of them had left before commenting, “Ms. Sophie sure is something
else, isn’t she? The people she knows are all big shots!”
However, Josiah wasn’t sure how to feel about that.
“The fact that she knows these people means she must be one of them as well. I remember how Soph
used to be such an innocent and adorable girl… Honestly, I would very much prefer for her to remain
that way. At the very least, she wouldn’t have so many things to worry about!”
It pained him just thinking about the hardships that Sophie must’ve gone through to achieve that status.
“You’re overthinking it, Old Mr. Tanner. Besides, Sophie wouldn’t have been able to handle all this on
her own if she had remained the way she was,” the butler replied.
Only through growth can a person hope to gain what he wants. I suppose we can’t have everything our
way, huh…
Constance had just stepped out of Mason’s ward when she saw Sophie walking in between two men.
To make matters worse, the men both looked extremely handsome and were not the kind to be trifled
with.
Hmph… No wonder she doesn’t like Mason at all!
With that in mind, Constance said disdainfully, “Now I see why you wouldn’t visit Mason, Sophie.
You’ve found yourself another man! Or should I make that two? You sure are something else for dating
two guys at the same time!”
Sophie decided to ignore Constance as she knew there was no point in talking to someone that
unreasonable.
However, Arius wasn’t about to just let it slide.
“What, are you jealous? Well, I suppose it makes sense. Given your appearance, I doubt any guy out
there would even take an interest in you! You’d probably be alone for the rest of your life if you weren’t
rich!”
Constance was so angry that her fingers were trembling as she pointed at Arius. “You… Do you have
any idea who I am? How dare you speak to me like that? I could have you disappear from Jipsdale if I
so much as feel like it!”
Arius quickly wrapped his arms around Sophie’s and said sarcastically, “Hey, Sophie! Did you hear
that? She said she would make me disappear! I’m so scared! What should I do?”
Sophie burst out laughing when she saw Arius acting like a child. “Now, now… That’s quite enough,
Arius.”
She deemed Constance an unimportant person, so she didn’t want to waste any more of their time on
her.
Arius let out a defiant snort and pointed at Tristan as he added, “I could put you through a fate worse
than death before you even make me disappear! Do you even know who he is?”
Having recalled how powerful Tristan was, Arius decided to use his name instead.
Sophie quickly stopped him when she realized what he was about to say next. “We’re going out for
lunch, aren’t we? Come on, quit wasting your time arguing with her!”
Tristan simply stood there glaring coldly at them as Sophie dragged Arius away by the arm.
“See that? Sophie is the kind of woman who forgets her current boyfriend after finding someone new!
She doesn’t deserve to be loved at all!”
